FIELD

Aspects of the present invention relate to the field of data processing and retention systems.

BACKGROUND

Emerging applications like deep neural networks need massive amounts of high bandwidth memory to train on different datasets and learn with high accuracy. Neural networks are increasingly becoming complex and deep, resulting in an enormous increase of intermediate datasets that need to be held in paged memory. Recent approaches propose employing hundreds to thousands of machines to train networks with dozens of layers and millions, or even billions, of connections. The computations involved in these emerging applications can often be performed more efficiently on graphical processing unit (GPU) cores than on more traditional central processing unit (CPU) cores. However, the host may also be a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) with dedicated local memory. Training such networks on a single GPU may be too slow (e.g., may take weeks or months) and training on a distributed set of GPUs can be inefficient, due to data movement overheads, stalled computation for data loading/offloading, limited bus bandwidth, and limited GPU memory due to through silicon via (TSV) packaging constraints.

The above information disclosed in this Background section is presently only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention, and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown and described, by way of illustration. As those skilled in the art would recognize, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Descriptions of features or aspects within each exemplary embodiment should typically be considered as available for other similar features or aspects in other exemplary embodiments. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.

Aspects of embodiments of the present invention are directed to a hybrid cache memory for use in a processing device capable of reducing or eliminating the memory capacity bottlenecks of today's ever more complex algorithms. In some big data applications such as deep neural network (DNN) training, which is a very memory intensive process, paged memory may have predictable temporal behavior that lends well to caching. According to some embodiments of the present invention, the hybrid cache memory integrates high bandwidth memory (HBM) with high capacity non-volatile memory (e.g., flash dies) to achieve the best of both high bandwidth and high capacity without the overheads of multi-GPU/CPU solutions. In some embodiments, a cache controller on the logic die of the HBM or in the module along with the overall system architectural framework performs efficient data migration.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computation system 10 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a computation system (e.g., a computer) 10 may include a processing device 100 communicatively coupled to a volatile system memory (e.g., dynamic random access memory or DRAM) 102, a local storage media 104, and a network interface controller (NIC) 106 via a data bus 108. The data bus 108 facilitates communication between the various peripheral components of the computation system 10, and be compatible with the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) standard or any other suitable bus standard. The NIC 106 may allow the computation system 10 (and its constituent components) to access, or be accessed by, an outside network (e.g., a wired and/or wireless network) 112, such as a local area network or the Internet.

In some embodiments, the processing device 100 includes a host (also referred to herein as a “host processor”) 200 and a dedicated hybrid cache memory 202. The host 200 may include one or more graphic processing unit (GPU) cores 201; however, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and the host 200 may include one or more general central processing unit (CPU) cores, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or the like.

In addition to the processing device 100, the data bus 108 may be connected to one or more other processing devices 110, such as a plurality of CPU cores and/or the like. The processing device(s) 100/110 may continuously read instructions stored at the volatile system memory 102 and execute(s) them as required. Any data actively operated on may also be stored at the volatile system memory 102. The local storage media 104, which may include a hard disk drive (HDD) and/or a solid-state drive (SSD), may store resilient or permanent data.

Unlike the volatile system memory 102, which is external to and not integrated with the processing device(s) 100/110 the hybrid cache memory 202 is integrated with (e.g., is internal to or packaged within) the processing device 100 and acts as an intermediate stage between ultra-fast registers of the host 200 and the much slower volatile system memory 102. Due to its close proximity to the host 200 and the much higher data transfer bandwidth with the host 200, the hybrid cache memory 202 may be significantly faster than the volatile system memory 102, and may be used to store intermediate data being operated on by the host 200 and/or to store (e.g., store in duplicate form) the most actively used information in the volatile system memory 102.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the hybrid cache memory 202 of the processing device 100 integrates high bandwidth memory (HBM) with high capacity non-volatile memory dies (e.g., flash dies), and is thus capable of concurrently exhibiting high bandwidth and high capacity storage, which are particularly desirable in applications such as deep neural network (DNN) training, and/or the like.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of the processing device 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the host 200 and the hybrid cache memory 202 of the processing device 100 may be communicatively coupled to one another through a first and second set of vias 204 and 206 that are electrically interconnected by an interposer 210. The interposer 210 may physically support the host 200 and the hybrid cache memory 202 and allow them to electrically interface with one another though the first and second set of vias 204 and 206 and to electrically interface with peripheral components external to (e.g., outside the packaging of) the processing device 100 through the third set of vias 208, a package substrate 212, and package pins 214.

According to some embodiments, the hybrid cache memory 202 includes a cache controller 220, one or more stacks of high bandwidth memory (HBM) dies 222 that may be connected together using a plurality of vias (e.g., through silicon vias (TSVs)) 224 or microbumps, and one or more non-volatile memory dies (e.g., NAND flash dies) 226. In some embodiments, the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 are physically and electrically integrated with the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222 within the same package, which may also include the cache controller 220. As illustrated, for example in FIG. 2, according to some example embodiments, the HBM dies 222 are stacked internally with respect to the hybrid cache memory 202, and the non-volatile memory dies 226 may be 3-dimensional NAND flash memory with multi-chip stacking (or string stacking). Additionally, as further illustrated in FIG. 2, according to some example embodiments, the logic die and NAND controller or cache controller 220 is implemented internally with respect to the hybrid cache memory 202, rather than being implemented as an external or separate component or device. Accordingly, as illustrated herein, embodiments of the present invention may include point to point links between the HBM dies 222 and the non-volatile memory dies 226 as opposed to independent connections with a controller. The host 200 may be external to (that is positioned outside of) the package that encapsulates the hybrid cache memory 202, which may improve thermal characteristics, testability, and improve capacity scaling.

In some examples (as shown in FIG. 2), each of the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 may be configured for edge bonding, or direct through silicon via (TSV) stacking of the non-volatile memory dies 226. In such examples, the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 may be communicatively coupled to the cache controller 220 through a memory substrate 230 that may be positioned between the cache controller 220 and the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226. The one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 may be connected to the memory substrate 230 using a plurality of bonding wires 228. The memory substrate 230 may route those connections to the cache controller 220 using a number of vias/solder balls 232. The combination of the bonding wires 228, the memory substrate 230 and the vias/solder balls 232 permit the flow of electrical power, control signals, and data signals between the cache controller 220 and the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 when there is a mismatch in connection types of said components. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 may be electrically coupled to the cache controller 220 through any suitable means. For example, the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 may be directly bonded to the cache controller 220 without the aid of the memory substrate 230.

As will be understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art, the vias 204, 206, 208, 224 and/or 232 may be replaced with any suitable connection means, such as solder bumps or the like.

In some embodiments, the cache controller 220 incorporates firmware logic allowing it to control (e.g., write to and read from) the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 as well as the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222 (which may, e.g., be 1, 2, or 4 stacks of 2, 4, 8, or any suitable number of HBM dies). The cache controller 220 may maintain a hybrid logical-to-physical address table map (hybrid LtoP table), which tracks in what physical location of the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222 and/or the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 each piece of stored data is located. The cache controller 220 may act as an interface block between the host 200 and the memory blocks within the hybrid cache memory 220 and, in some embodiments, may allow the host 200 to be blind to (e.g., be unaware of) the existence of the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226, while availing itself of the benefits provided by the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226.

In some examples, the cache controller 220 may perform inclusive hardware caching, whereby the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 are utilized to store copies (e.g., backup copies) of all data stored at the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222. This may be performed as a background process, for example, when the cache controller 220 is not in the midst of writing to or reading from the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222. As HBM dies exhibit greater bandwidth (writing/reading speed) than non-volatile memory, incoming data from the host 200 may first be stored in the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222, and be subsequently backed-up at the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226. In such embodiments, when the cache controller 220 receives a write command from the host 200, if insufficient space exists within the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222, the cache controller 220 may, for example, delete older data or least frequently used data stored on HBM dies 222 so as to allocate sufficient space to accommodate incoming host data. No data may be lost in such a process as the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 maintain a backup of all data written onto the HBM dies 222 (to the extent that the capacity of the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 is not exceeded). In such embodiments, the host 200 may only be aware of the existence of the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222 in the hybrid cache memory 202 (and thus, be unaware of the existence of the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226). As the cache controller 220 hides any complexity introduced by the addition of the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 from the host 200, the host 200 may communicate with the hybrid cache memory 202 in the same or substantially same manner as it would with a conventional cache memory. Further, in some examples, the pin out of the hybrid cache memory 202 may be the same as or substantially the same as a related art cache memory. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the hybrid cache memory 202 may be interchangeable with a standard cache memory (e.g., in terms of both hardware and software). This may allow the hybrid cache memory to be ‘dropped in’ to an existing system design without requiring any changes to the host or the overall computation system 10.

In some examples, the cache controller may perform exclusive caching, whereby incoming host data may be stored in only one of the one or more stacks of HBM dies 222 or the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226, but not both. In such embodiments, the cache controller 220 may maintain exclusivity by exchanging the relevant memory line with another algorithmically chosen line between the HBM 222 and the non-volatile memory 226 upon a cache hit. Upon cache miss in the HBM 222, the cache controller may access the non-volatile memory die 226 to obtain the data line. Thus, embodiments of the present invention may increase effective memory capacity due, for example, to a single core hierarchy without bus-snooping based cache-invalidation of multi-core caches where inclusive caching may be easier to implement.

According to some embodiments, the cache controller 220 utilizes either GPU assist (or) GPU-HBM asynchronous interface to schedule data migration between one or more stacks of HBM 222 and one or more non-volatile memory dies 226. In the case of inclusive caching, data copying occurs between the HBM and non-volatile (e.g., flash) memory areas. In the case of exclusive caching, data exchange occurs between the memory areas. In both cases, the HBM logic die controller schedules the data movement, while avoiding a conflict with host (e.g., GPU, FPGA, ASIC) scheduled accesses to the same memory address/banks in either the HBM or the non-volatile memory. Conflicts may be avoided, for example, by enabling the host controller to completely control data migrations. Another mechanism for avoiding conflicts is to utilize an asynchronous host-memory interface. In the case of utilizing an asynchronous host-memory interface, because the protocol is transaction-based and does not have fixed timing, conflicts to the same memory areas (by the host and cache controller) are arbitrated by the HBM logic die and after performing both the operations, the HBM logic die can signal the appropriate response to the host.

FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating a process 300 for managing data transfer between the host 200 and the hybrid cache memory 202 of the processing device 100, according to some embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in act S302, the cache controller 220 receives a write command from the host 200.

In act S304, the cache controller 220 determines whether there is sufficient capacity within the one or more stacks of HBM 222 to store the incoming host data associated with the write command.

If there is insufficient space, in act S306, the cache controller 220 deletes the earliest (or least) accessed data stored at the one or more stacks of HBM 222 so as to create sufficient space within the one or more stacks of HBM 222 to accommodate storage of the incoming host data. The cache controller 220 then proceeds to act S308, where cache controller 220 stores the incoming host data in the one or more stacks of HBM 222. If in act 304, it is determined that there is sufficient space within the one or more stacks of HBM 222, the cache controller 220 may skip act 306 and proceed to act S308.

In act S310, the cache controller 220 then backs up the stored host data to the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226, which is physically integrated with the HBM in a same package. Thus, in some examples, the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 store a copy of all data stored at one or more stacks of HBM 222, and even some older data that may have been previously deleted from the one or more stacks of HBM 222 by the cache controller 220 to create sufficient space for incoming host data.

In some embodiments, the cache controller 220 backs up the data content of the one or more stacks of HBM 222 to the one or more non-volatile memory dies 226 when the cache controller 220 is not engaged in servicing a host command, such as a host read or write command (e.g., due so when the hybrid cache memory 202 is in idle mode). In some examples, the backup may occur concurrently (e.g., simultaneously) with the writing of the incoming host data to the one or more stacks of HBM 222.

In performing any of acts S306, S308, and S310, the cache controller 220 updates a hybrid LtoP table to continuously track the physical location of the data being operated on (e.g., stored, moved, or deleted).

While the HBM dies 222 offer high throughput memory access to the host 200, the ability to increase memory by stacking more HBM dies or adding more stacks is substantially limited by the real estate and power constraints of the processing device 100. Non-volatile memory (e.g., flash memory) may be slower than HBM, however, it offers significantly more capacity (e.g., orders of magnitude more capacity) per unit area than HBM, and consumes less power. Thus, by integrating non-volatile memory with HBM within a single package, the hybrid cache memory 202, according to embodiments of the present invention, avails itself of the advantages of both types (kinds) of memory by achieving significantly greater (e.g., a 1000 times greater) capacity at lower power as compared to the cache memory of the related art. This alleviates the need to use multiple GPUs/CPUs or to use pooled virtualized host DRAM or HBM to run memory/processing intensive applications such as DNN training, which in turn reduces or eliminates unnecessary data movement between GPU/CPU and HBM and/or between multiple GPUs/CPUs, eases memory capacity bottlenecks, and in DNN applications, reduces training time, enables bigger batches, and larger algorithms and datasets.
